I love tea any time of the year but when the weather starts to turn and a chill is in the air… there is nothing better than a cup of hot tea! I am constantly trying to cut out the needless calories and at the same time fighting an enormous sweet tooth that I insist comes from my Mother’s Danish side. I credit the Armenian side of the family with every other food group.

I found these teas at first to satisfy my desire for dessert after a delicious “low carb” meal. They are amazing! This is coming from a gal who loves a slice of apple crisp, a warm chocolate chip cookie, and an oozing deep chocolate brownie. I know you may not believe that these teas can foot the bill as a substitute but they are wonderful.

I make a cup every night to satisfy that craving of chocolate, dessert, and the warmth of something a tad bit sweet. I add Truvia instead of sugar and never artificial sweeteners. In the past a bit of honey was usually added but I have to say the Truvia is great alternative.

My absolute favorite is the peppermint chocolate… yummmm! But really I enjoy them all. Please try a cup and let me know what you think. Enjoy!

I was looking for an easy recipe to make that I could freeze if I had left overs. My thinking was then I wouldn’t be tempted to finish the left over dessert. So I have made variations of this recipe but the one below is out of a cookbook “Southern My Way” by Gena Knox, it’s her grandmother Dot’s recipe. Of course brown sugar and butter made into a bar… there were very few left overs! Four bars made it into the freezer and were eaten several days later with a dollop of ice cream.
